Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.75 cups Light brown sugar (for caramel sauce)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for caramel sauce)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a small saucepan, warm the milk until it is lukewarm (110-115°F). Add melted butter and whisk to combine.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well. Add the egg and beat until smooth.
Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky but workable.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the light brown sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon to make the filling. Set aside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 10x12 inches.
Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly onto the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edges.
Starting at the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces.
Grease a 9-inch baking pan or muffin tin. Arrange the rolls inside, leaving a little space between each one. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them rise again for 20-30 minutes, or until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
While the rolls rise, prepare the caramel sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, light brown sugar, and butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the caramel sauce over the risen rolls.
Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
